1...Nxe4+ 2.dxe4
If 2.Kb2 Nf2 wins the day.
2...Nb5+
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
The d-pawn no longer shields white's queen from the
d8-rook, once the knight moves off the d-file, simultaneously
discovering the attack against the white queen and also giving check.
Giving check is extremely important to this tactic, as otherwise the
2nd player might find time to safe-guard his endangered material.
3.Kc2
3.cxb5 Rxd1 4.Ne2 Bd4+ 5.Nxd4 Qe1+ 6.Nd2 exd4+ 7.Kc2
-+
3...Rxd1 4.Kxd1 Bxg1 5.Rxg1 Qxe4 6.cxb5 Qd4+ Qe1+
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
       
Black will pick up the h1-rook, too. 0-1
